Monaco vs. Grenoble

Expected to win this game with a degree of comfort, les Monegasques did not enjoy a particularly easy first half. Nassim Akrour narrowly missed their target after just eight minutes, though Alejandro Alonso was quick to reply for the home side with a similar effort.

Monaco regrouped and almost took the lead in the 13th minute.

Mathieu Coutadeur's cross from the left was met by Yohan Mollo's close-range header but goalkeeper Ronan Le Crom pulled off an amazing save to keep the scores level.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Juan flicked a header agonisingly past the post, with Monaco goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier beaten.

But it was Grenoble who could have gone into the interval in front after creating a good chance on 39 minutes.

Laurent Courtois' free-kick found Jimmy Juan in the area and his header had Stephane Ruffier well beaten, but it was also just wide of the post.

Monaco continued to disappoint going forward. Mathieu Coutadeur shot over from outside the box and Frederic Nimani had a token effort saved by Le Crom, but they never suggested that they would win this encounter, leaving GF38 to celebrate their first point of the season.
